Answer:

Power, P =9800 W

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the elevator, m = 500kg

It is raised to a height of 20 m in 10 seconds

Power is defined as the work done per unit time.

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Work done is given by :

$W=mgh$

h is the height

So, $P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{500\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 20\ m}{10\ s}$

P = 9800 Watts

Hence, the power of the motor is 9800 W. The correct option is (b).

6) Set the battery to a value between 0.0 V and 1.5 V. Now drag the voltage meter toward the capacitor and move the red and blac

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0

Alika [10]

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

$v = 6 m/s$

acceleration of the bus is given as

$a = 2 m/s^2$

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

$a = -2 m/s^2$

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)$

$-36 = - 4 d$

$d = 9 m$

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

$\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m$

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance
